Chapter 366: Battle of the Young Masters (Part One)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

July 25, Monday.

“Big Stars of the Nation” had officially been broadcasted on the television. At the same time, Hong Dali’s “iPartment” had also started...

It had to be said that this was a clear win—Li Nianwei starring in it as well as the all-star cast in “iPartment” had gained the love of the audiences once it was broadcasted. There were many handsome guys and pretty girls in there, and moreover, the hilarious storylines and amusing lines had swept the viewers like a tornado, becoming the champion of viewership ratings on that day.

On the contrary, the viewership ratings for Big Stars of the Nation were extremely little, such that people could not bear to even see the ratings.

...

“Young Master, something has gone wrong!” The bodyguard frantically dashed into the Presidential Suite Number Four and anxiously said to Ko Gohon, “The viewership ratings for the first day have been totaled! The viewership ratings for our Big Stars of the Nation is... is...”

“How much?!” Ko Gohon’s facial expression changed slightly. Just by looking at the bodyguard’s expression, he knew that something unexpected happened.

“1.2%.” The bodyguard cautiously replied. He was quite anxious. This time Ko Gohon had bet 20 million. If he lost... Then they, his bodyguards, would definitely suffer.

“This viewership rating is still fine, why are you so anxious?” Ko Gohon berated. “Then what about Hong Dali? Judging from what your expression, his viewership rating is higher than ours? Higher by how much? A few tenths percent?”

Normally speaking, there would not be too much of a difference between the viewership ratings of the various programs. Even if the Big Stars of the Nation was not able to win Hong Dali’s iPartment, but he still had Star Plan coming up. The viewership ratings on Sunday were the most important.

However, once the bodyguard heard Ko Gohon’s words, his forehead instantly brimmed with sweat, and he said in a small voice, “The viewership ratings for iPartment is... is... is 3.5%...”

“What?!” Upon hearing the bodyguard’s report, Ko Gohon was instantly stunned. “You’re saying that the viewership ratings for that iPartment are three times ours?! Three times?! Are you sure you didn’t see it wrongly?!”

“Yes... Yes, Young Master. I’m sure.” Now that things had come to this point, the bodyguard went all out. “I’ve looked at it for a few times. This figure is definitely correct. Young Master, why don’t, for our bet this time...”

“No! I don’t believe that Hong Dali will always be so lucky!” Ko Gohon ferociously slammed the table. “If this program is a failure, we still have another one, Star Plan! Even if I lose again, we still have the online website, online gaming, and those pieces of land! I don’t believe that Hong Dali will be so lucky every single time!”

The bodyguard subconsciously retreated a step back. Or else his face would probably be imprinted with red again...

...

As expected, for the next two days, iPartment totally won over the others. The viewership rating for Big Stars of the Nation, which Ko Gohon had invested so much money into advertising and producing, had plunged throughout. Meanwhile, the viewership rating of iPartment had risen higher and higher, constantly reaching new peaks.

It wasn’t an overstatement to stay that currently, Li Nianwei was the absolute guarantee of viewership rating in the entertainment business. As long as she starred in it, there definitely wouldn’t be any worry about the viewership rating.

Of course, Ko Gohon wasn’t the type to sit still and do nothing. Very soon, he thought of a good idea to pull up the viewership rating—Quiz contests with prizes! As long as an audience member was able to guess one question correctly, that person would win smartphones, televisions and various prizes. action

It had to be admitted that this plan of his was rather successful. Within two days, the viewership rating of Big Stars of the Nation had been increased to 1.9%. Meanwhile, the viewership rating of iPartment had already reached 3.8%.

Just as Ko Gohon was planning to use this tactic and use Star Plan to turn the tables around, a tragedy happened...

Actually, speaking of which, Min Feiyao’s tragedy happened very mystically.

Far away in Merika’s Hexagon Building, Vincent Iverson unknowingly logged into Heavenly State’s internet to explore it for fun. He was browsing through the news and watching video clips, and then he saw a very big advertisement on So Cool video-sharing website-—”Min Feiyao’s live concert.”

Planning to give it a try, Vincent Iverson clicked on the video...

“This female singer, Min Feiyao, is too boastful, her singing is only mediocre, yet she’s so high-profile. It really surprises me.”—Vincent Iverson wrote on his Weibo.

And then, Min Feiyao suffered a tragedy.

First, on the internet forum, a post titled “Min Feiyao is actually a manmade pretty girl?!” was publicized and attracted many people fighting to surround it and take a look. Once they saw the post, they were shocked. The pictures in it were absolutely mystical. First, a picture of a lady that looked like Sister Feng[1.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Feng]. Below the pictures were various explanations about which part of her body she had done plastic surgery on and which parts were unchanged. Eventually, the final result was that she had plastic surgery on 84% of her face, and throughout her entire face, the only part that hadn’t undergone plastic surgery was her forehead...

Once such a post was published, it rapidly swept the entire entertainment business. Min Feiyao and her manager tried their best to explain yet still couldn’t make it clear. After all, the analysis of the pictures was just too apt. Moreover, what made Min Feiyao feel like breaking down the most was that there was always a particular group of people that had nothing better to do yet were very skilled...

First, someone dug out information about the classes she was in when still in school, and then someone found her graduation photos and even especially pointed her out using a red circle...

This time, there was chaos in the entire entertainment business.

Undergoing plastic surgery was still acceptable. And it was fine if it were just a few minor surgeries. But it was really unbearable to have plastic surgery on practically her entire face. If everyone relied on that to thrive in the entertainment business, then what about the others?

“I really didn’t think that she would be such a person. I thought she was really a natural beauty.”—Celebrity One.

“Actually, in this day and age, having plastic surgery is already not much of a news. It’s understandable if she wants to occasionally change some parts of her face to make herself look prettier. But what she has done is akin to changing her entire face. I really can’t accept this.”—Celebrity Two.

“This is really shocking. Sigh. She’s gone insane from doing plastic surgery. It’s really... Forget it, life is already hard enough, I shall not say anymore. Anyway, I didn’t really have many interactions with her in the past, and we’ll probably not have any interactions in the future as well.”—Celebrity Three.

Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite number four.

“Young Master, save me, quickly save me!” Min Feiyao, who was already on the verge of breaking down, could only plead with Ko Gohon to save her. “You must save me, you must save me. If I can’t get over this obstacle, I’m finished. Finished!”

“Idiot! You useless trash!” Ko Gohon instantly kicked Min Feiyao away as he furiously said, “You’ve spoiled my plans, and you still dare to come and beg me to save you! Do you know that because of you, my plan has failed! All failed! Because of your plastic surgery scandal, even the TV station doesn’t dare to broadcast Star Plan now, and it’s delaying it for an indefinite period! I’ve lost yet another round in my bet with Hong Dali! 20 million, a gamble of 20 million USD has been lost again!”

...

While Ko Gohon was raging in fury, Hong Dali was lying on Li Nianwei’s lap as he heaved a comfortable sigh. Then, he asked, “Sister Cai, how’s the viewership rating for ‘Where Are We Going, Dad’?”

“Young Master, it’s 3.7%. It can be said to be rather high.” Zhang Cai’s expression was elated. Recently, during these few days, there had been an endless number of people contacting her to request to inject and broadcast their advertisements in their program, but Zhang Cai had rejected them all—she knew that Hong Dali hated advertisements.

“Oh, what about that Ko Gohon’s ‘Star Plan’?” Hong Dali asked again.

Upon mention of this, Zhang Cai felt like laughing. “Young Master, because of the plastic surgery scandal of Min Feiyao, now, the entire entertainment business is condemning her, so ‘Star Plan’ has been cut off before it even had the chance to be broadcasted...”

“So pathetic!” Hong Dali stared with wide eyes. “This means that our righteous side has invited much support. Sister Xiaoyi, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip there. I really am not interested to see that annoying face of his...”

“OK, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi nodded.

“Oh right,” Hong Dali instructed again. “Don’t take money, take cars. We lack taxis in our sci-fi town.”

“OK.” Once Hong Dali had said this, everyone around instantly collapsed in laughter. Ko Gohon was gifting them cars again!

...

Imperial Hotel.

The bodyguard frantically ran into Presidential Suite Number Four and said in trepidation, “Young... Young Master, Hong... Hong Dali’s men have come!”

“What?!” Upon hearing this, Ko Gohon instantly stood up in shock. “Where are they? Where are they now?”

Just after he said that, he heard a gentle and calm female voice. “Greetings, young master Gohon. I’m Ling Xiaoyi, the number one lackey under Young Master Hong Dali. Today, I’ve come to get the prize from the bet on behalf of Young Master Dali. Young master Gohon, you have a big family business, and you’re the only heir to the Toyoda Conglomerate which is ranked number 16 in the world. I believe you wouldn’t go back on the bet with Young Master Dali, right?”

Ko Gohon had previously cockily said about his family assets, and now it had been repeated by Ling Xiaoyi.

As expected, once Ling Xiaoyi said this, Ko Gohon was instantly at a loss for words.

Though because of Min Feiyao, Ko Gohon’s “Star Plan” hadn’t even been able to be broadcasted, this was just an accident. If Ko Gohon really didn’t plan to pay up, actually, it would be justified.

But now it was different.

Previously, Ko Gohon had put on all sorts of airs in front of Hong Dali and boasted so much about his family. Now, Ling Xiaoyi had repeated what he’d said back then. How would Ko Gohon then be shameless enough to go back on his words?

“You!” Ko Gohon was furious and fiercely said, “Of course I won’t go back on my words! 20 million USD is just pocket money. Do you think I would care about it?”

“The problem is that our Young Master Dali doesn’t care as well.” Ling Xiaoyi smiled. “Our Young Master says that he doesn’t want cash. Instead, he hopes that young master Gohon can convert it into 20 Toyoda Prime Minister Grade limousines because just those 10 cars alone at the sci-fi town are not enough.”
